Chapter 608: Silence.

The location was the Pedestal Plane. 

Yaana stood not far from Ryu whose body still wasn't quite corporeal, flickering in and out as though it couldn't decide whether it was lightning, fire or human. She felt that she had been lucky to get Ryu out of there… Or, maybe it was just that the citizens of Gold Leaf City had been lucky. If she hadn't taken Ryu away, the entire city would have been razed to the ground. 

It could be said that for a moment Ryu had stopped caring about the consequences. But, luckily, Yaana had kept a level head and ended things in a way that gave Ryu some plausible deniability, at least for now. 

She could feel how enraged Ryu was. Even while he sat in meditation, he didn't place any of his attention on her at all. Even though she had only been back with Ryu for a short time, even when he hadn't shown her any affection at all he would never ignore her like this. It was clear that he was doing his utmost to rein in his emotions again.
